Bug in source code in ldapjs npm package about node-ldapjs

[jsumners]

Hey-hey! Sorry to bother you with such problems, but couldn't find a solution, so to contact you - the only way I have.

This is the appropriate place to ask questions.

1. Used npm to instal the package, installed version of package was 2.2.5. I actually didn't find it on your updates website. Trying to update it by npm didn't change nothing.

The latest package available is 3.0.2. We no longer support v2.

3. I'm using Vite and TypeScript to code and to run my packages.

Okay.

4. The main mistake. After running the script, on my site should appear the login-window form, when I just created it and have been setting it up - I used the default object with static parameters to login, after that, I created the ldap request source code below. And everytime when I was running the project, I had the same mistake in a package:

I don't understand. ldapjs does not provide any "login-window form". ldapjs is a library usable by application written against the Node.js runtime to provide an API for accessing LDAP servers, or to provide an API for writing and LDAP server.

Thank you for the answer, yeah, I know that v2.0 is no longer supported. Lets leave this problem now.

About the login-window. It is default-vanila javascript, with integrated in ldap library to access Active Directory server. That's what I meant. Sorry for missunderstanding

Is your application being run in the Node.js runtime environment?

Ofc it is, to apply using npm packages I'm using Vite. But running this all with npm, or in node.js env.

Please provide a minimal reproduction that I can run with node index.js.

mostly - it's not possible. Its a huge project as site, so sent only one file from it, does not make any sense.

I could give you an acces to my private repo, so you could clone the project. But still the problem is that you need to configure your Active Directory and your mysql DataBase to run the site. It's too complicated.

Is there any how you could avoid it, and how could I help you with avoiding it?

[jsumners]

A minimal reproduction is not a full project. See https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example.

I think that if you attempt to create one, you will find that you are not running your code within the Node.js runtime. Your screenshots show web browser consoles, and your provided code snippet is using web browser DOM APIs.

If you can provide a reproduction that solely uses Node.js, you are welcome to reopen the issue. Otherwise, all evidence provided points to an unsupported environment.
